Monday 15th Week of Ordinary Time

Insults Is. 1:10-17



If there was a contest for who could give the most biting insult,
The prophet Isaiah most likely would win.

He accuses Israel of being like Sodom and Gomorrah!
One of the most vile and evil societies of ancient times.

Israel would sacrifice whole rams and lambs and goats
To God,
And then take advantage of the poor, widows and orphans.
The most vulnerable.

And Isaiah calls out their hypocrisy.

We are no better than Sodom and Gomorrah,
If we go to church and say our prayers,
And then turn around and lie, or cheat or steal;
Or gossip or defraud our neighbor.


God Bless
